- mfi 5y agoThanks! Depending on how many artworks you've created, it might be difficult to train a GAN network on them (due to overfitting). What you might try is to train one network with a lot of random artworks, then use a Style-transfer network to convert the generated pieces into your style.
- sandGorgon 5y agodo you have the code for training ? i wasnt able to find it in your repo. That would be so cool!
- mfi 5y agoI left it out as I wanted people to use their own generative art. Here's the implementation I used: https://github.com/taki0112/StyleGAN-Tensorflow https://github.com/taki0112/StyleGAN-Tensorflow
- bravura 5y agoDo you actually want to disseminate your work and have many other people try it? Or is that not actually a goal. Right now it really feels like this isn't a priority. Which is fine. But if it is a priority that other people replicate your work, I'm not sure you're making this as easy for people as possible.
- mfi 5y agoMy intension is not for people to replicate my work (the trained GAN-network), but rather supply a tutorial over how to build the installation. Then people can add their own generative art/code. It could be ML-generated, or traditional "code-art".
- sandGorgon 5y agoHey thanks! so just put your pictures and run the python script ? and we can take the model and drop-in replace in yoru code ?
- mfi 5y agoSorry for the late reply. Yeah, I used that repo to train the NN. Then I modified and reduced the code to only include the generative part, and that is what I added to the Kiosk-code.
- aketchum 5y agocouldn't you use something like style transfer to take your own artwork's style and apply it to the generated art?
- mfi 5y agoYeah exactly, that's what I meant!
- phkahler 5y agoOr seed it with XKCD.
- kamilszybalski 5y agothis comment seeded an interesting idea! Many artists and photographers want to get into the NFT space but they don't necessarily have experience in digital art creation. If you could leverage AI to generate digital art based on real artist/photographer inputs, perhaps you could create a nice little marketplace business.. or maybe just a simple AI generator plugin for an existing marketplace..
- tartoran 5y agoMost artists (with some exceptions) want to have nothing to do with AI generative art. They will simply continue to produce art the way they do with older technologies such as paints and brushes, musical instruments, film equipment, writing tools, and so on. Art making involves a process, a state of mind and there's always a human behind it who digests everything around them and spit something out. All these imitative AI art are beautiful in their own way but really have no substance; once the wow factor weans out they won't have much of a leg to stand on in my opinion. Art making is a self discovering journey at the same time. Having said that, I'm curious and somewhat excited to see how these will evolve. As I said, I find them beautiful. As a painter myself there is nothing out there that will make me not paint. Sure, I sometimes use tools but there's always the me in there who is in control or driven by my human instinct.
- kamilszybalski 5y agoThat's good insight. I am not an artist but I've also run this idea by a friend who is. He loves the idea and is curious what a technological interpretation of his work might look like. He's also interested in how we might use those interpretations to create a new segment of collections for this brand.

- KingFelix 5y agoThats what I am thinking about, what kind of images to train on
